Abstract

In this paper, development of smart metering and management system for groundwater utilization is proposed. It has been designed as a tool to monitor and record quantity of groundwater usage, from both short and long distance, industrial users in Thailand. The system comprises of embedded computer, groundwater metering unit and web-based software for monitoring and management. Moreover, online signal processing algorithm has been developed and used to detect fraudulent groundwater usage. The real-time application software processes signals from sensors and builds up supporting information for security warning, decision making and report to the user. By running MATLAB Simulink on fraudulent detection algorithm, the simulation results are found compatible to data that collected from the field test of smart metering system.
